#JALBUM FULL VERSION CODE#

The controls are now visible when the page is launched, and fade out after five seconds.

Revised handling of the audio control bar.

The space bar now starts and stops an automated slideshow, if one is included in the album.

#JALBUM FULL VERSION CODE#

If you need to know what version you used to create an album, look at the page code - detailed information is present in a tag in the section.

#JALBUM FULL VERSION SKIN#

Simplified credits line, without jAlbum and skin version numbers - site visitors don't care about versions.

Option to use a semi-transparent overlay on folder thumbnails.

When an older project is made again with this version, the now-unneeded skin-generated thumbnails are removed from the output.

When older projects are loaded, the skin calculates the correct setting for these bounds. The prior settings for folder thumbnail height and aspect ratio are no longer needed - you may set the folder thumbnail dimensions directly, under Settings В» Images В» General В» Image Bounds В» Folders. This is more robust, and considerably more efficient.

The skin now uses the jAlbum core routines to generate folder thumbnail images, rather than creating them itself.

Small change to the skin's hints.jap file.

The skin now disables jAlbum settings that may not be used or are irrelevant in this skin.

The skin now warns you if you include Google maps, but don't provide an API key.

Better handling of long captions on floated thumbnails.

Values in prior projects are converted upon loading.

The maximum width of text placed above and below the thumbnails is now expressed as a pixel count, rather than as a percentage of the page width.

Allowing the thumbnails and slide images to occupy most of the width of a large monitor is fine, but allowing titles and captions to spread that far makes them difficult to read.

You may now specify a maximum width for page titles and slide captions.

Improved storage of non-album object files added to the project by the user (logo images, background music files, WOFF files, info page images, background images).

Simplified, faster processing of title bar logos and info page images.

The skin now allows SVG files to be used as title bar logos, info page images, and background images (in the Custom style).

This version of the skin can be used with jAlbum 27, but to make use of audio clips, jAlbum 28 is required. While it is possible to combine background music, a timed slideshow, and audio clips in a single album, none of these things is 'aware' of the others, so the results are likely to be somewhat chaotic.

The skin now supports audio clips on slide images.

If there is a timed slideshow and there are audio clips that do not autoplay, the slideshow will enter a paused state if the visitor clicks the 'play' button on the audio control bar.

If there is a timed slideshow and there are audio clips that autoplay, the slideshow will advance only when the clip has finished playing.

Option to have the timed slideshow start automatically when the visitor opens a thumbnail.

The skin's 'hints' file now turns off the generation of JSON files, which are not used by this skin.

A tweak to prevent links in slide captions from being intercepted by the Floatbox script.

Option to allow the site visitor to zoom in on slide images when they are shown smaller than their native size.

More thorough cleanup of unneeded output files from earlier versions or from experiments with my other skins.

Doing so will produce a badly broken album. When you first remake an album that was created with an older version of the skin, you must not choose Process only updated subdirectories.

#JALBUM FULL VERSION UPDATE#

When you load an older project, the skin will update any custom code you have included. Among other things, all of the CSS attributes have been renamed. Multiple coding changes to prevent cross-skin contamination by a careless skin developer.
